Technical safety

This machine complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Improper use can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. To avoid the risk of accidents or damage to the machine it is essential to read these instructions before it is installed or used for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, operation and care of the machine. This machine is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow children to play on or near it, or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly and infirm. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user. To avoid the risk of damage to the machine, make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply, before connecting it to the mains supply. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt. The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock). The machine must be built in before operation to ensure that no electrical components are accessible. Ensure power is not supplied to the machine until installation, repair work or maintenance work has been carried out. Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating). When installed in the mobile unit (optional extra), the machine is not suitable for use in the open air.

Correct use

The machine is intended for domestic use only for the preparation of espresso, cappuccino and coffee. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect or improper use of the machine.
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer. Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held liable. The machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: the mains fuse is withdrawn or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable) or it is switched off at the wall socket and the the plug is removed. (Pull on the plug, not the cable). Never open the housing of the machine. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults or electric shock. If the machine is to be built in above another machine, there must be a full-width, closed shelf between them (except when it is combined with a Miele built-in plate warming drawer). In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Warning. Danger of scalding. The liquids dispensed are very hot. Keep children away from the machine at all times, and supervise them when you are using it. Their skin is very sensitive and reacts to hot temperatures. Danger of scalding. Remember that coffee and espresso are not suitable drinks for children. Do not reach into the brew unit when the machine is connected to the electricity supply. Danger of injury. Before making your first drink of the day it is important to rinse the machine through and make sure that the steam spout and milk frother are thoroughly clean before using them. Only cold, fresh drinking water should be used to fill the water container. Warm or hot water or other liquids could damage the machine. Change the water every day to prevent a build up of bacteria. Do not on any account use mineral water. Mineral water will cause serious limescale deposits to build up in your machine and damage it.
Never put anything other than Nespresso coffee capsules in the capsule magazine. Other manufacturers capsules etc. would damage the machine. The coffee capsules must be intact before use. Do not use coffee capsules which are damaged, broken or dented. These could become jammed in the machine and damage it. Never place a drink with ignited alcohol under the spout of the coffee machine. The flames could melt plastic components and cause fire damage. The hot water and steam could cause scalding. Be very careful when using these functions. Make sure you do not come into contact with hot steam or hot water. The machine must never be used for cleaning objects. Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to clean this machine. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Clean the machine every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria. The machine should be descaled regularly, depending on the hardness of the water, with the descaling tablets supplied. The harder the water, the more often the machine must be descaled. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage arising from insufficient descaling. Only use the descaling tablets supplied by Miele and follow the instructions on the packet carefully. Use the exact proportions recommended to avoid damage to the machine. How quickly the capsule plate becomes soiled will depend on the natural oils in the coffee used. We recommend that you clean the capsule plate every 1 to 2 months with a cleaning tablet. Never swing from or hang anything on the front when it is open as this could damage the machine.

Disposal of your old machine
Before throwing an old machine away, switch it off and disconnect it from the power supply. Cut off the cable directly behind it, then cut off the plug and render it useless to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Brief description

The capsule magazine can hold up to 20 coffee capsules. These 20 coffee capsules are divided between 5 chambers. This means that the capsule magazine can be filled with 5 different types of coffee. These 5 different types are programmed into the machine so that the type required can be selected from the display. If the machine is used by various people with different tastes and preferences, you can programme specific settings for up to four individual users. There is no need to remove each individual spent capsule as the used coffee capsules drop down automatically into a waste container. The coffee capsules can be disposed of with your normal household waste. The size of cup can be programmed in so that the correct amount is dispensed. If you decide to use a smaller cup than the programmed cup size, preparation can be halted at any time by pressing the right-hand control dial. If a double portion of coffee or espresso is required, a double portion can be selected. The machine will then prepare two portions one after the other. The hot water function is ideal for pre-warming the cups. The machine features a system lock to prevent children from operating it. The easy-to-use programming facility allows, amongst other things, the language in the display to be changed and the water hardness to be programmed in. To ensure that the flavour can develop fully and be maintained for longer, the machine has an additional function for automatically rinsing the system when the machine is cold. The same function is used to flush coffee remains out of the system and the spout after use. The machine can be programmed to switch to stand-by mode so it is always ready for operation but does not consume unnecessary electricity. This can be programmed to happen between 20 minutes and 2 hours after coffee was last dispensed. It is therefore important to set the correct time of day. You can also programme the machine to switch on and off at a particular time every day.

The exit menu will now appear with the A symbol for "Back" highlighted. ^ Press the right-hand dial again to reach the exit menu of this display.

Steam system

The machine has two heating systems which allow you to dispense steam and coffee at the same time. To save energy, the steam system can be switched off if steam is not required all the time. When the steam system is switched off, the machine can still be used to make steam, but not at the same time as making coffee or espresso. If you operate the steam valve when the steam system is switched off the machine will not produce steam until it has heated itself up. The steam heating system remains active as long as the machine is still on.

Setting the water hardness
For trouble-free operation of the coffee machine, and to ensure that the descaling reminder appears in the right display at the appropriate time, it is important to programme the machine for the water hardness level in your area. The water hardness level indicates how much calcium is dissolved in the water. The higher the calcium content, the harder the water, and the harder the water, the more often the machine will need to be descaled. The machine measures the amount of water which has been taken in (including the amount required for producing steam). The amount of water which the machine can use before it needs to be descaled will depend on the water hardness level set. Less water will be used in hard water areas than in soft water areas. Your local water authority will be able to tell you the hardness of water in your area. Alternatively, you can measure the hardness yourself using the enclosed test strip:
^ Dip the strip in your drinking water for approximately a second, then shake off any excess water. The results will be evident after about 1 minute. If the water is harder than 40 d / 7.0 mmol/l, limescale will build up more rapidy than with soft water. Descaling will need to be carried out more regularly than stated to prevent limescale damage to the machine. Use programming option "Water hardness" to programme in your water hardness level.

There are four programmable levels:
Setting (in the machine) Hardness 1 Hardness 2 Hardness 3 Hardness 4 Hardness level (local water) 1 (soft) 1 (soft) 2 (medium) 3 (hard) 4 (very hard) d mmol/l Water through-flow in litres approx. 200 approx. 130 approx. 90 approx. 60

Saving different types of coffee
There are 12 different types of Nespresso coffee available for use in this machine (as well as occasional "special" brands). They vary in terms of taste, aroma and how they are roasted. Preparation time also affects the taste.
Allocating the types of coffee (Allocate type)
You can store five different types of coffee in this machine (e.g. for five different users with different tastes). There are five chambers. Make sure you put the different types of coffee in the correct chambers. You can fill all the chambers with the same type of coffee, if wished.

Filling the capsule magazine
Never put anything other than Nespresso coffee capsules in the capsule magazine. Do not use coffee capsules which are damaged, broken or dented. They can get stuck in the machine. The capsule magazine has five chambers, each holding four capsules. It is important to allocate the chambers correctly (see "Allocating type"). You can fill all the chambers with the same type of coffee, if wished. Some of the chambers are allocated a type of coffee at the factory. Fill the chambers with the appropriate type of coffee or re-allocate the chamber for a different type of coffee (see "Saving different coffee types"). The machine will then dispense the type of coffee you select!
^ Pull the magazine runners a out as far as possible. ^ Fill the chambers c in the capsule magazine b with capsules. Make sure you put them in correctly with the foil facing downwards. You can take the capsule magazine out to fill it by lifting it upwards.
Please note that the individual capsules sit loosely in the capsule magazine to prevent them from becoming jammed. ^ If you have removed the capsule magazine, place it onto the magazine runners before putting it back into the machine. You do not have to position it in a particular way, as the machine will automatically guide it into position. ^ Push the magazine runners fully back into the machine. ^ Close the front of the machine. The machine will now align the capsule magazine. You will be able to hear this happening.
Taking capsules out of the capsule magazine
If you want to change the capsules in the magazine: ^ Pull the magazine runners out. ^ Pull the capsule magazine upwards to remove it. ^ Push upwards on the ring at the base of the magazine and then remove the capsules.

Making coffee

Important: the water piping must be rinsed through every day and the machine cleaned thoroughly before the first drink of coffee is prepared. This will take place automatically if the Rinsing programme option has been set to "On" and the machine is cold. Hot water will run out of the spout into the drip tray once the machine has heated up. If the Rinsing programme option has been set to "Off", select "Rinsing" from the left display to rinse out the system (see "Cleaning and care").

Switching on

To switch the machine on: ^ Press the left hand dial.
The left-hand display will light up. The following message will appear briefly in the right-hand display:
Please fill with fresh water
This is a reminder to fill the water container with fresh water. The following message will then appear:

Heating-up Please wait

If the automatic rinsing programme option has been set to "On" (factory default setting), the following will appear after the machine has heated up:
Rinsing in progress - please wait

You can now wait until the coffee has been dispensed before adding the froth, or you can add it at the same time as dispensing the coffee, but this method will result in a the cappuccino looking too dark. It is also harder to get the ratio of coffee to milk right. You can only make coffee and froth at the same time if the steam system is set up for this. See "Settings: Steam system").
^ To make the froth press on the steam valve a to connect the valve to the milk frother b. The steam valve must engage in the lower position in order to connect properly with the frother. The milk is frothed up by the hot steam, and then flows into the cup. ^ Turn the dial on the milk frother clockwise as far as it will go. As soon as the milk runs smoothly into the cup, turn the dial anti-clockwise. This raises the temperature and also increases the amount of air in the milk. As soon as the milk begins to spatter, gradually turn the dial clockwise again until the spattering stops. Steam release is controlled by a timer. If you do not get sufficient froth in your cup and the steam jet has stopped releasing steam, please shut off the steam valve. Press it downwards again to reconnect it with the milk frother. ^ When you have enough froth turn the steam valve back upwards again.
The cappuccino is ready. As a finishing touch, sprinkle a little cocoa powder over the froth.
Frothing milk in the milk frother (cappuccinatore)
^ Fill the milk frother up to the lower mark with fresh cold milk. ^ Turn the froth spout to the side to close off the frother. ^ Then turn the dial on the lid clockwise to the "lots of froth" position.

HEATING WITH STEAM K 5

^ Turn the left-hand dial until you reach the "Heating with steam" option.
^ To make the froth press on the steam valve a to connect the valve to the milk frother b. The steam valve must engage in the lower position in order to connect properly with the frother. The milk will then be frothed up in the milk frother. It is ready when it has doubled in volume. ^ When you have sufficient froth push the steam valve back up again.

After frothing milk

If you want to use the milk frother again before cleaning it thoroughly, e.g. because there is some milk left in the jug, you can use the coffee machine to rinse the lid. This will remove any milk deposits. Rinsing the lid in this way is not a substitute for cleaning it thoroughly in the dishwasher.

RINSING K 5 L o n

^ Turn the left-hand dial to "Rinsing". ^ Place an empty cup under the froth spout of the milk frother. ^ Press the steam valve downwards to connect the valve to the milk frother. The following message will appear in the right-hand display:

Rinsing Cappuccinatore

Hot water will now flow through the lid, giving it a quick rinse. The rinsing process will finish automatically.

After use

Before switching the machine off for any length of time, the pipework, brew system, spouts and steam valve need to be cleaned. If you have switched the automatic rinsing function off, you will need to rinse the system through manually. Place a suitable container under the spout and the steam valve. The right-hand display will let you know whether the machine is set up for manual or automatic rinsing.
^ Turn the left-hand dial to "Rinsing". ^ Press the right-hand dial. Water will run out of the spout. ^ Open the steam valve. Water will run out of the steam valve. ^ Close the steam valve a few seconds later. The system has now been flushed through and the machine can be switched off.
Setting the portion sizes
The flavour of the coffee produced depends on the type of coffee, and the quantity of water used. Not all cups are the same size. To ensure the machine uses the right amount of water to suit your taste and your cups, you can programme in the amount to use. The coffee portion buttons are designed for the following types of coffee: The Espresso button dispenses a standard size espresso to be served in a standard espresso cup. The amount of water for espresso can be set between 30 and 75 ml. The Coffee button dispenses coffee for a standard size coffee cup. It uses the same quantity of coffee as an espresso, but adds more water. The amount of water can be set between 30 and 175 ml. With double espresso and double coffee two portions of espresso or coffee are dispensed one after the other. This requires two capsules and twice the amount of water as for a single portion.
Portion size for the standard profile
Have the correct size of cups ready before you start. ^ Place a cup under the spout.

If the temperature of the machine above 60 C, rinsing cannot take place. water stopped flowing whilst programming in the amount to use Water flow stops automatically when the maximum fill quantity is reached. The maximum quantity is stored in memory. There is insufficient water in the water container. The quantity used previously was not saved to memory. the preparation time and the maximum fill quantity of the coffee varies considerably The coffee grind varies depending on type of coffee. Different producers may also use different grinds for the same type of coffee. For this reason the preparation times and maximum fill quantities can vary. the espresso or coffee is not hot enough ^ Have the cups been pre-warmed? The smaller and thicker the cup, the more important it is to pre-warm it. ^ Check whether the capsule plate is dirty. Clean the capsule plate. the coffee is too weak ^ Make sure the amount of water programmed is not too much for the coffee. ^ Check to see how many coffees have already been dispensed. If the amount of water is correct and 15,000 coffees have already been dispensed you will need to replace the capsule hopper in the brew unit. See "Cleaning and Care: Maintenance".

. there is water in the waste container This is not a fault. The water is left over from the brewing and cleaning process. there is residual "coffee water" in the waste container The capsule plate is not correctly pushed in. ^ Remove the capsule plate and replace it. the descaling process was started by mistake? The descaling programme cannot be cancelled once you have pressed the right hand dial. The programme has to be completed through to the end. This is a safety measure to ensure that the machine is fully descaled, and is important for protecting the machine and to ensure it functions correctly. the heating-up time is getting longer, the amount of water coming through is incorrect and the machine is not performing properly The machine needs descaling. the error message F 10 appears Water has not been taken in. ^ Perhaps the system was not filled with water before the first drink was made.

Glossary

Blending is unique to each coffee producer. The blend gives coffee its particular taste and quality, and will vary depending on the type of coffee you want. Caff is the Italian term for a standard espresso. Its full name is caff espresso. It tastes good after meals and throughout the day. Caff americano is espresso made with lots of water. Caff corretto is espresso with a dash of alcohol such as Grappa, brandy or a liqueur. Caff freddo is a long espresso with ice cubes and sugar syrup added. A popular summer drink. Caff latte is a double espresso in a large cup filled with hot milk, topped with little or no froth, for people who enjoy milk. Caff mocha consists of one third espresso, one third hot milk and one third cocoa, served in a tall glass. Caff ristretto is the strongest, most concentrated espresso. The water is reduced to 30 ml per portion. Cappuccino is espresso with frothed milk. It is served in a ceramic cup with one third espresso, one third hot milk and one third froth. To obtain a good froth, the milk should be cold and made in a cold container. Cappuccino chiaro is a "light" cappuccino with less espresso and more hot milk. Cappuccino scuro is a "dark" cappuccino with more espresso and less milk. Coffee should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container to maintain its flavour for longer. Crema is the sign of the perfect cup of espresso. Crema is a fine, nut or cinnamon brown froth on the surface of the espresso, which is only created when the pressure is sufficiently high. It contains oils which are rich in flavour and aroma, and helps to keep the espresso warm. Espresso, see Caff Espresso corto is a "short", strong espresso. Espresso doppio is quite simply a double portion of normal espresso. Espresso lungo is the longer, less concentrated version served in a standard coffee cup. Espresso ristretto is a double strength, bitter tasting espresso. Macchiato is espresso with a tiny shot of hot, frothed milk which gives it a dappled (macchiato) appearance.

The displays light.
Setting the water hardness The hardness of the water used in the coffee system must be determined and programmed into the appliance. The water hardness will determine how frequently the unit must be descaled to properly maintain the coffee system. The machine monitors the volume of water passing through it in conjunction with the hardness of the water and will indicate when descaling is necessary. Your local water authority can inform you of the hardness of your tap water or you can measure the hardness yourself using the enclosed test strip.

^ Dip the strip into your tap water for one second, then shake off any excess water. The result will be evident after one minute. If your water hardness is greater than 40 gr/gal (700 ppm), the water must be mixed in equal parts with non-carbonated mineral water to prevent excessive lime scale build up. Never use distilled water.
